Re: From RAC to RAD. Here we go again
Not too sure yet as the van has no interior or screen so i'm sure it will drop more when it is all finished.
I have also got a lot of arch gap because I have cut an inch of the wheelarches away as I am going to be running the plastic Caddy Cross arches.

Re: From RAC to RAD. Here we go again
I didn't have much to do on Saturday as the van is nearly at paint stage so I decided that I would remove the Bilstein springs and fit my custom made 30mm shorter ones. This made no difference to the ride height so i'm thinking its sitting high due to the fact that it has no glass or seats etc.


I had a delivery from Forge Motorsport on Friday so I fitted these at the same time

356mm 6 pots

Re: From RAC to RAD. Here we go again
Running the Bilsteins on mine. I haven't got it wound all they way down as I have 19" and it will rub the arches.
I'm waiting on the rear shocks as the first ones I had were to long and bottomed out. I should have them tomorrow
The rear will go a lot lower than the fronts but mine sits lovely and the ride is smooth not harsh at all

Re: From RAC to RAD. Here we go again
I have been running the Bilsteins on the front for a few months now and just fitted the rears tonight. They are all tested parts the rears are pretty much shortened sharan dampers
I have been working with them for a couple of months now and have put a kit together for sale. The. Only thing is getting the rear flip kit. I designed my plates to move the axle back slightly. I drew in cad and got laser cut. I know there are a few guys on here that sell them aswell
